Hi. I had a few questions.

  • What exactly is meant by "frame skipping," and why is it permitted for the maximum population categories but not the others? I would think it's just how many frames you let an emulator skip, but I struggle to understand why you would want that unless you have low-end hardware - and struggle more to understand why only the maximum population categories get that exception.
  • What exactly is meant by everything being allowed for the maximum population category? I notice that Pierre's WR obviously has the Debug Mode on but there is a separate category for the debug mode. So shouldn't that run be moved to the corresponding board?
  • (EDIT: I just also noticed their run uses emulator speedup?? As well as Floriaka's Freeland record. Is that also allowed??)
  • (EDIT 2: Additionally, as a thought, is turbo (i.e. 30fps inputs) allowed? Might be useful.)
  • What exactly is the difference between the maximum population categories? I feel at least one of them has a goal of "beat this population, but faster". Or is the score category purely for population records irrespective of their time?

Anecdotally, the Freeland categories have contradictory rulesets for the maximum population categories, just as an FYI.
